When Baron Balian led more than 20 cavalry to the top of the hillside and prepared to dive, more than 20 heavy infantry armed with spears and wearing heavy armor had gathered more than ten steps outside the enemy camp. They rushed towards the south hillside at high speed.

The cavalrymen who came down pointed the spear points in their hands at an angle at the incoming enemy, and leaned forward slightly, forming a spear fence formation to resist the cavalry charge.

It was not without reason that the Lombard army was able to march straight into Provence. When faced with a night attack, they showed their ability to change quickly and cannot be underestimated.

Baron Balian had seen the power of the enemy's spear fence formation. He watched the enemy soldiers pouring out of the enemy camp to join the horse-repelling formation. When the two armies were fifty steps apart, he loudly gave orders to the cavalry following behind him.

Said: "Divide into two teams, circle left and right, gather in the middle and charge!"

More than 20 cavalrymen automatically divided into two teams, turned to the left and right sides respectively, bypassed the spear-repelling horse formation in front of the camp and went straight to the main camp.

The enemy's horse-repelling formation discovered Baron Balian's purpose of dividing his troops and detoured. The spear-repelling horse formation immediately broke off in the middle and moved quickly to the left and right sides. As long as it withstood the first round of cavalry impact, most of the battalion

The soldiers can react and join the spear formation. Once the spear formation is formed, the more than twenty light cavalry alone will not be able to penetrate the camp.

But tonight the God of War stood on the side of justice.

The slope of the hillside gives the night attack cavalry a great acceleration impact. Normally fifty steps is enough for the spear and horse formation to separate the two sides of the guard, but tonight the horses are much faster due to the slope.

Before the horse-repelling formation was in place to block the cavalry, the two groups of cavalry had already passed by the spear-repelling horse formation and rushed straight into the camp without guardrails.

The night was dark and windy, with a faint moonlight.

A Lombard soldier who had just woken up from his sleep was about to open the military tent and go outside to see what was going on. He saw a neighing war horse rushing over, and a knight's sword slashed straight at his head.

When his vision went dark, what flashed in his mind was a dark figure wearing a black robe and cape, with eagle eyes like hooks.

Art killed the guy at the entrance of the camp who was still dressing and tying his belt with a sword, then turned his horse's head and leaned forward to take out a torch outside the camp. He took the torch and lit it in a circle around the camp. In an instant, the entire camp seemed to be flooded.

It burned violently like kerosene. The soldiers in the tent who were looking around for armor, clothes and weapons were surrounded by fire. An enemy soldier who was on fire was rolling to the ground in the tent and trying to extinguish the flames, but he forgot about the ground on the ground.

It was all messy animal skin blankets and wool felts. As a result, the fire on his body ignited the blankets and blankets on the ground, and the more intense flames quickly ignited the corner of another soldier's clothes~

Heartbreaking cries came from the camp...

Art no longer paid attention to the tragic images in the military tent, raised his sword and kicked his horse and continued to charge north, "Ron Jason, continue to charge, break through the camp and run north!"

Jason followed Atron and rushed into the enemy camp, but he was not as agile as Ron in riding his horse. In the military camp full of military tents, his horse had difficulty moving. He just accelerated his horse and knocked down an enemy soldier who rushed out of the tent.

, a spear pierced the neck of the war horse beneath him. The horse raised its front hooves high in pain and fell to the ground with a thud.

Jason, who was on the war horse, suddenly fell back and lost his breath. His left leg was tightly suppressed by the horse. After taking a breath, Jason tried to pull out his left leg from under the war horse that was struggling to get up, but the enemy soldier who had just stabbed the war horse did not give him any help.

When Jason had a chance to get up, a spear had already passed around the horse and stabbed Jason in the neck.

Jason's eyes were full of despair. He didn't expect that after escaping for a long time, he would eventually die at the starting point of his escape. He closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth, waiting for the bloody spear to pierce his body.

Bang! A crashing sound passed into Jason's ears.

"Get up and lie on the ground waiting to die?" Knight Ivan roared angrily and stretched out the cavalry spear in his hand to Jason. Jason grabbed the spear shaft and climbed up, picked up the broadsword on the ground and took off the riding bow quiver on the saddle.

He looked back distressedly at the war horse that could no longer get up, and limped towards Ron.

............................

While the enemy camp at the foot of the hillside was filled with killing sounds and flames rising into the sky, a dozen four-wheeled carriages carrying patrol soldiers and coachmen on the business road on the other side of the hillside were desperately racing north. Since there was no food and cargo, in addition to loading

In addition to some military equipment and grain carriages obtained from the war, the convoy also had sixteen carriages left. On average, one carriage carried two people and traveled almost empty, running very fast.

Under the moonlight, Otto's rich voice sounded.

"Bass, come forward and lead the team. It's dark at night and remember not to go astray."

"Kazak, you are in the middle and pay attention to the enemy situation on the left and right sides."

"Tuba, you can't let a carriage fall behind if you delay."

"Red, you come with me. We will rush to the one mile ahead of the convoy to scout."

While riding on horseback, Otto was instructing the division of tasks for the breakout convoy. He turned his head and looked at the light of fire coming from the other side of the hillside, and secretly prayed for the three people at Art who participated in the attack on the camp.

Art held his right arm that was stabbed by a spear, and loudly said to Baron Balian who had broken through the enemy camp: "Sir, we will leave immediately. May God be with you, and victory will always belong to the righteous army."

"Goodbye Brother Art, God bless you." Baron Balian said, turning his horse's head and taking the remaining dozen cavalry around him to charge towards the enemy camp again...

"Ron, help Jason onto your horse, let's go chase the convoy."

Ron helped Jason, who was crushed by the fallen horse, onto his own horse, got on his horse and followed Art all the way north...

On a small hill to the north, Art stood on his horse and looked back at the fire in the distance. He was silent for a moment, turned the reins and clamped the horse's belly tightly, and then galloped to catch up with Ron and Jason...

.

............................

When Art, three men and two horses caught up with the convoy, the convoy stopped in a small wood eight miles north of Fort Kalk.

Otto arrived behind the team, took Art's reins and reported the situation urgently: "Sir, we just went to the manor in front to investigate, and there was light on the tower of the manor. We were worried about being discovered by the enemy, so we didn't get close.

"

"Are there any roadblocks on the road outside the manor?" Art was most concerned about whether the enemy had blocked the road to the north.

"There were no roadblocks, and I didn't see any patrolling soldiers."

Art took a bite of the jerky handed over by Ron, lowered his head to chew for a while, and said: "It's too late to touch the sentry again. I guess there won't be too many enemy soldiers stationed in the manor. Let's force our way through. Now everyone

Silence! Rest for another hour and feed the horses and livestock."

After saying this, Art walked up to the war horse, took off the water bag and grindstone, pulled out the knight's sword that had been notched during the attack on the camp, and sat on the ground to polish it carefully.

In the grove, everyone sat beside the carriage to rest. Kazak took the soldiers of the second team to look out in and around the woods. The leaders of each combat group were also busy checking the weapons and equipment of the team members. "Kitchen Manager" Spencer came from the first

Rye bread was taken from the carriage and distributed to the soldiers and coachmen, and at the same time, they comforted the eight terrified coachmen.

After a while, the team began to rush through the border...

.............................

Standing on the tower of the manor built next to the north-south trade road were five Lombard soldiers. They were recruits who were temporarily transferred to garrison here. A few days ago, the eight veterans who had set up a trap in this manor were slaughtered, and they narrowly escaped with their lives.

After the checkpoint commander returned to the main camp, he was dragged out and beaten severely. This is one of the important channels for controlling the transportation of food supplies from the north to the Aosta area, so the Lombard army sent another officer who had just been brought to Aosta.

The war zone's recruit squad is stationed here.

"Sir, do we want to go down and intercept?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old soldier asked the commander of the team next to him, holding a short spear in his hand.

The commander of the team was also a veteran who had just been promoted. He looked at the fleet of carriages and the several blurry cavalrymen leading the team in front of the carriages in the moonlight. He remembered the tragic situation on the northern trade road a few days ago and had already made up his mind to kill him.

Without even leaving the manor, he said, "Are you blind? Didn't you see that there are so many people on the other side? There are several cavalry. If it's your own people, but if it's the enemy, how many heads do you have for them to chop off??"

"Besides, the Commander just asked us to intercept the food supplies transported in from the north. They are coming from the south. Who asked you to intercept them? Go and check whether the gate of the manor is closed. You guys, please give me

Keep a close eye, if the enemy touches the sentry again, I will chop off your heads first and then fight the enemy." After saying this, the team commander left the tower wall and hid in the sentry tower. The two were slightly stronger.

The soldiers also slipped down.

Only two small recruits, who were usually bullied, were left on the wall, trembling and looking at the convoys rolling in from the north and south.

The convoy has successfully passed the manor sentry, and Art has not yet thought about it. He was ready to take Ron Kazak and another patrol sentry to forcefully break through the card to clear a bloody path for the following convoy, but when

When the convoy passed the manor, he only saw two dark heads emerging from the wall on the top of the sentry tower. There was no blockade set up in the manor to intercept, no troops were sent to attack, and not even an arrow was directed at the convoy.

Come over here.

"Isn't it the enemy? But they don't know our identity?" Art felt confused for a while, but he was relieved to be able to safely break through the last "line of defense" in the Aosta theater.

Att tightened the reins, turned around and shouted at the convoy that was following closely behind him: "Don't worry about what's behind, the convoy will speed up and try to get to Hades Village before dawn."

After saying that, he patted the war horse with his scabbard and led the convoy towards the north quickly.

............................

The squad commander of the manor's sentry tower looked at the retreating convoy through the sentry hole in the room. He turned his head and regained his usual anger, and whispered to the people around him: "You guys remember, if the commander
